Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice noodle production technology, specifically to a rice noodle soaking device for rice noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] Rice noodles are a very popular food in southern China. They are made from rice through processes such as soaking, steaming, and pressing, resulting in strips or strands of rice. They are not, as the name suggests, a powdered product made from ground rice. Rice noodles are soft, chewy, and elastic; they don't become mushy when boiled and don't break easily when stir-fried. They are served with various toppings or in soups, and are smooth, flavorful, and loved by many consumers, especially in southern China. The production process involves multiple steps, including soaking and washing.

[0003] Traditional manual soaking of rice noodles usually takes a long time to fully soak and soften them, which greatly affects production efficiency. Furthermore, manual soaking makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity of soaking, resulting in some rice noodles being under-soaked or over-soaked, affecting the taste and quality of the rice noodles. At the same time, the softened rice noodles are extremely slippery, making them inconvenient to scoop out.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design was developed based on the existing powder dispensing device. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, a support plate is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the crossbar, and the support plate is fixed to the surface of the crossbar.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this rice noodle production soaking device, the rice noodles are put into the mesh cage, the servo motor drives the drive rod to rotate, and the drive rod pushes the ear plate through the thread to drive the mounting frame and the mesh cage to sink into the box, where they are soaked in the water. The mesh cage is conducive to the subsequent collection and scooping out of the wet and slippery rice noodles. During the soaking process, the horizontal plate can also be placed at the opening of the mounting frame. Shaking the handle can drive the horizontal bar to rotate. The horizontal bar drives the vertical bar to rotate through the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear. The vertical bar will drive the lever to stir the soaking rice noodles, preventing the rice noodles from piling up and affecting the soaking uniformity. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a rice noodle production soaking device, including a box body 1, a servo motor 2 installed on the surface of the box body 1, a drive rod 3 fixed to the output end of the servo motor 2, a guide rod 4 fixed to the end of the box body 1 away from the servo motor 2, an installation frame 5 provided on the inner side of the box body 1, a mesh cage 6 fixedly installed on the lower edge of the installation frame 5, ear plates 7 fixed to the edge of the installation frame 5, the ear plates 7 being connected to the drive rod 3 and the guide rod 4 respectively, a horizontal plate 8 provided at the opening of the installation frame 5, a hanger 9 fixed at both ends of the horizontal plate 8, a vertical rod 10 installed on the horizontal plate 8, a lever 11 fixed to one end of the vertical rod 10 inside the mesh cage 6, a first bevel gear 12 fixed to the end of the vertical rod 10 away from the lever 11, a second bevel gear 13 meshing with the edge of the first bevel gear 12, a horizontal rod 14 installed on the second bevel gear 13, and a crank handle 15 installed at the end of the horizontal rod 14 away from the second bevel gear 13.

[0020] The drive rod 3 and the ear plate 7 are connected by a through thread, and the guide rod 4 and the ear plate 7 are connected by a through sliding connection. When the drive rod 3 rotates, the drive rod 3 can push the ear plate 7 through the thread to drive the mounting frame 5 to rise and fall. The ear plate 7 and the guide rod 4 cooperate to prevent the mounting frame 5 from rotating with the drive rod 3, thereby improving the stability of the mounting frame 5 when rising and falling.

[0021] The mesh cage 6 is embedded in the box 1. The mesh cage 6 and the box 1 form a telescopic structure, which makes it convenient for the mesh cage 6 to carry the rice noodles into the box 1 for soaking. The mesh cage 6 can also scoop out the soaked rice noodles from the box 1.

[0022] The bracket 9 has an inverted "U" shaped structure. The bracket 9 is inserted into the edge of the mounting frame 5, which facilitates the installation of the horizontal plate 8 through the bracket 9 at the opening of the mounting frame 5.

[0023] The vertical rod 10 is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 8. The lever 11 is distributed at equal angles at the end of the vertical rod 10, which facilitates the rotation of the vertical rod 10 on the horizontal plate 8 and makes it easier for the vertical rod 10 to drive the lever 11 to move the soaked rice noodles, thus improving the soaking process.

[0024] The lever 11 has a round rod structure, and its round shape makes it easy to stir the soaked rice noodles without damaging them.

[0025] A support plate is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the crossbar 14. The support plate is fixed to the surface of the cross plate 8, which facilitates the stable installation of the crossbar 14 above the cross plate 8 and also makes it convenient for the crossbar 14 to rotate on the support plate.

[0026] Working principle: According to Figures 1-4As shown, first, soaking water is poured into the box 1, then rice noodles are placed into the mesh cage 6. Next, the servo motor 2 is started. At this time, the servo motor 2 drives the drive rod 3 to rotate. The drive rod 3 then pushes the ear plate 7 through the thread, causing the mounting frame 5 and the mesh cage 6 to sink into the box 1. The mesh cage 6 then causes the rice noodles to soak in the water in the box 1. During the soaking process, the brackets 9 at both ends of the horizontal plate 8 are inserted into the edge of the mounting frame 5. At this time, the horizontal plate 8 is stably mounted at the opening of the mounting frame 5. The crank handle 15 can be manually turned to rotate the horizontal bar 14. At this time, the horizontal bar 14 drives the vertical bar 10 to rotate on the horizontal plate 8 through the second bevel gear 13 and the first bevel gear 12. The vertical bar 10 will then rotate. The lever 11 agitates the soaked rice noodles. To prevent the horizontal plate 8 from moving when the lever 15 is manually cranked, the user can press down on the horizontal plate 8 with their other hand, avoiding touching the side of the horizontal bar 14. This prevents the rice noodles from piling up and affecting the uniformity of soaking. After the rice noodles have finished soaking, the vertical bar 10 and lever 11 are removed from the mounting frame 5 via the horizontal plate 8 and the hanger 9. Then, the servo motor 2 is started to drive the drive rod 3 to rotate in the opposite direction. The drive rod 3 pushes the ear plate 7 through the thread to lift the mounting frame 5 and the mesh cage 6 from the box 1. The raised mesh cage 6 collects the wet rice noodles from the box 1 and also facilitates the drainage of water from the mesh cage 6.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
